There is no real reason to spend billions on another one on the moon or Mars. God made the Earth so we could live on it. So why are we trying to find another planet to live on? Man is becoming more ungrateful every year that passes by.…
Mars is a planet that will not be left alone, we will continue to learn more and more about it with the help of the advanced technology we have today. Our earth is a perfect place for mankind but in the end it is going to get worn out just like anything that is used too…
Mars, a red, cold dry planet people are thinking about colonizing. If you ask me this is a bad idea. Mars is dangerous, unsanitary, and you can get many diseases and sicknesses. Mars is dangerous. There are sand storms.…
We should colonize mars for the safety for the human race and so we can fix earth. Most people think that we should colonize mars for the safety of the human race One reason we should colonize mars is because we need to make sure that are species the human race lives for as long as possible for all we know mars could be are last chance of survival if earth gets destroyed by lest say all the volcanos erupted and it destroy earth we would have to leave and go some where else but we wouldn't be able to because we would have no where to go. Another reason why we should colonize mars is the fact that what if we find some version of life on mars we would be able to help them survive or they could help us we could tech them how to speak and for the…
In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s arrival to planet Mars, Deputy project scientist Dr. Leslie Tamppari presented a summary of NASA’s research and discoveries. Within the last decade, over two hundred and fifty terabytes of data have been sent home by the spacecraft, giving us insight about the Red Planet during the ongoing search of water and habitable zones. The idea of water on Mars has such high relevance because it is a necessity to any type of living organism. Although present day Mars currently has no liquid water that is stable on the planet’s surface, physical traces of canals and dominant signs of past water flow have been found with use of MRO’s high resolution camera.…
As a researcher for one of NASA’s top research laboratories, Brent Sherwood of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory strongly feels “the benefits of a manned Mars mission may not justify its enormous costs” [1]. It is instinctive of human nature to initially consider this risk only in terms of monetary cost. This is just a small sense of what some members of the political, science, and internal communities feels that “NASA's overarching goal of sending astronauts to Mars may not be worth the time, money and trouble”. Sherwood added that "our rationale for exploring Mars, I think, is perhaps fatally weak". Sherwood stated this during a presentation with NASA's Future In-Space Operations working group.…
The first thing they don’t talk about, is the economic potential there is with space exploration, similar to how the invention of ships expanded the economy of many early civilizations. Then, with their point of spending more money on other things such as improving our atmosphere or changing the weather, they fail to realize that NASA’s funding has been slowly decreasing these last few years and still nothing related to the oppositions suggestions for what the money should be spent on has been done. NASA’s funding is so low that it can’t even launch their own astronauts up to the International Space Station, instead they buy a seat on one of Boeing or SpaceX rockets, and still no money is going towards the things they suggested. Another argument they don’t realize that’s invalid is that NASA does nothing. Throughout their research, development, and launch of ships into space they have created several pieces of technology that are still used today.…
We will tell you who it is a good thing, and can be helpful. Mars one is a good thing because we get to learn and explore a new planet. The first reason is that when planet earth runs out of resources like iron and stuff we can go to mars and collect the minerals there. Going to mars will help us build more and more with new sources.…
Moon Colony Authors and astronomers for a long time now have fantasied about the idea of a colony on the moon, and to be fair, who hasn’t? With all the recent advancements in space travel technology and with private companies, such as Space X, filling the void of an underfunded NASA, a moon colony seems to be on the horizon. However, there are a lot of dangers and problems that come with building a colony on the moon, so that brings the question, is it viable and safe to build a colony on the moon?…
Mars has many similar traits as Earth. Our nation has done extensive research about this planet. There are many aspects about Mars that is still yet to be uncovered. Many people wonder if life is sustainable on Mars. There are many similar aspects between Mars and Earth, but no astronaut has been to Mars yet.…
While the idea of living on Mars may seem worthless and impractical, the colonization of Mars could have a worthwhile effect on not only the Earth, but the Universe. Space travel has been on hold since the space race in the sixties, but given the current spark in curiosity and drive, the idea of going to Mars is becoming a reality. Having an alternative Earth may seem frivolous, but at the rate at which the Earth itself is depleting, an alternative home planet is the most viable option for keeping the human species alive and thriving. The quality of life on Earth will improve because there will be more advanced technology and an understanding of science and space that can be implemented to life on Earth. Colonizing Mars has the opportunity to…
Most naysayers of manned space travel focus heavily on the danger to the astronauts and the massive amount of resources that are supposebly wasted in space. Some argue against government funded space programs while others argue against space travel in general, but all say they have good reason. Space travel is expensive, many people say that we could use this money to fix many of the world 's problems such as hunger and poverty. This is a very good rebuttal to space exploration as the problems with poverty are very important. Yet the amount of money that could potentially be made with space technology such as asteroid mining would help these problems far more than just redirecting current funds out of space.…
This is a goal that the human race has been trying to achieve for years. The one problem with this is that we may have another space race to get to mars instead of the moon. This could also help our economy. Our economy would rise if we were able to make it to mars. Many people would want to be a part of the program to be some of the first on mars.…
Yes, there has been ideas that we could live on the moon but, Mars is more likely to assist life because Mars is a planet like Earth unlike the moon. Also, here on earth are so many research opportunities that Americans could partake. Those research possibilities being the cure to illnesses or diseases. Krauthammer criticizes our problems here on Earth and believes that they will always be problems so why wait for them when they can not be…
One of the problems about living or visiting Mars or the moon is the cost . And colonizing it. If we do colonize either one of the planets we would be destroying the natural planet in all its beauty. The cost of just a ride is $500,000 per person, and even if you do pay the money to go to Mars, who knows when you would be going, because your…
